Loud Luxury DJ Seeks Investigation After Dog Dies "Under Mysterious Circumstances" at Training Facility

Andrew Fedyk of the chart-topping dance music duo Loud Luxury announced that his dog died while boarded at a training facility in Los Angeles, prompting calls for a formal investigation into the organization’s practices, KTLA reports.Fedyk said he and his wife had recently welcomed a new baby and made arrangements to board their dog, Dunkin, at Smart Dogs Training Academy in Studio City.

According to the DJ, staff members had taken Dunkin and other dogs to a park earlier in the day, then judged the heat too intense and decided to transport the animals to a kennel in Hollywood instead.Sometime after that, Dunkin died.

Several other pet owners have since come forward with similar accounts after their dogs allegedly died while under the facility’s care, Fedyk said.“What started as a tragedy with a negligent dog trainer for our dog, Dunkin, has evolved into something way worse,” he said.

“Seven different families who, under the care of Jeff Todd and Smart Dogs Training, have had dogs pass away under mysterious circumstances with zero explanation.” Fedyk said he plans to have a necropsy performed to determine Dunkin’s cause of death and has already contacted the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Animal Services, asking for a thorough investigation into Todd’s business practices.The results of Dunkin’s necropsy could play a central role in determining whether the case moves beyond a private dispute and into a formal law enforcement matter.

No criminal charges have been announced in connection with the case as of this writing, and it remains unclear how many dogs may ultimately be linked to complaints against Smart Dogs Training Academy....
